Safety checks
•
Do not enter or reach under the machine if it is
lifted and not sufficiently supported. The machine
should be supported on places marked by the
symbol of a lifting jack.
•
The mower should only be transported in a
container or on a trailer.
•
Check bolt torques at regular intervals. The first
check should be done after 8 operating hours.
Pay attention to the attachment of the cutting
blade and the proper bolt torque. Use a torque
wrench and a specified torque. See 11.22.
•
The attaching flange of the blades or the bolts
must not show sign of damage or wear. The bolts
must be complete. The blade must be
undamaged, evenly worn and adequately sharp.
•
If you are driving the machine outside of the
working area, always turn off the mowing blades
and set the maximum mowing height, otherwise
the blades may get damaged.
•
Keep the product clean after use. Do not use
gasoline or similar oil products for cleaning.
•
Do not reach into the space under the mower with
your hands or feet. Do not reach under the engine
cover or into the gear mechanism.
•
If you are forced to reach under the machine, wait
until all rotating parts stop. Attention, it takes
some time before blade runs down! The run-down
time depends on the state and wear of the
brake/clutch. Have the brake checked at regular
intervals at an authorized servicing facility.

While operating, wear closed shoes and work
clothing. Do not wear loose clothes that could get
caught by the machine, short trousers or light
